Todays haul and another Super Treasure Hunt, third one this year!

Went to sell a load of old stuff from our garages at the “A47 Autojumble” on Monday so had to buy a few from the multiple die cast model vendors

That 240Z is fantastic.

I'm a fan of the original car and had no idea it was that old tbh! Just checked and he debuted it back in 2015!

Also available in Orange. I've got a few knocking about.

I recently got another version of the Z in France, never seen this range here:



I think there's another casting of the Z which has come and gone in recent years, can't immediately remember how it differs.

On a Datsun/Nissan related note, I got this BRE set in Smyths at the weekend:



We've seen the 610 pickup and 510 wagon in many different guises (picked up a "Hot Wagons" version of the latter in PoundStretcher just today), but the Sentra is a new one to me.

I picked up the BRE set from symths too. It’s ace.

I have that 240 in white too.

Really enjoying the matchbox moving parts cars too.

I have tried to cut back on Hotwheels but slid down the slippery slope of other 1/64 scale stuff like, minigt, inno64, tarmac works, pop race, not to mention kaido house.

Hot wheels is definitely a gateway into a whole crazy world of collecting.

Mate your shots are excellent, do you have an Instagram or anything where you post them?

(Also that cat is excellent, you've sent me down a rabbit hole!)

Managed to find the Mazda

I've got this model in my collection, it looks very similar, differing in the front arches and missing the wing mirrors. It's a Fairlady Z instead of a 240Z.



Bit of a theme with very similar Nissans. I have 2 models of the newer Nissan Z, one called "2023 Nissan Z" and the other called "Nissan Z Proto". This time the only difference I can see is the name on the chassis, no visual differences at all, but it was somehow important enough for Mattel to change the tooling.

'Not Wheels', the badly modified shed car

Aha,I reckon that's what I was thinking of. Looks like a ZG model with the longer aero nose.

Hey, Thank you.

I have a Instagram account where I occasionally post model cars (but use that account to follow the model car people so I do not mix up my photography accounts)

@objectsarecool

There are a few other pictures on there but Instagram is how fell down the rabbit hole looking at all the 1/64 scale out there.



Started with the idea collecting Nissan and Datsuns, then snow balled.

Thanks, I got a lot of cars yet to photograph (on the roof of my car) just need to wait until I have a window of time to do it and then upload.

It’s a bit of fun that is all.
